I haven't watched most of these yet. I'm having a stressful week at work, so I'm saving them for this evening!

Work was mad, finally home, will check them out tonight, yay!

Just watched the Debenhams ad. It’s a lovely modern take on a fairytale and the snow and lights make it very Christmassy!

My favourite so far is the Sky Cinema one. I liked the teaser ads for the Debenhams one, it had so much potential, but the full ad is a disappointment.

Only just watched the full ad and it is a bit disappointing. It's just lacking something. Although prince charming/the shoe thief is very lovely to look at. So I'll probably watch it a few more times anyway!

Is that really the Sainsbury's one? Looks like it was made but college students on the Friday before a Monday morning deadline.
So cringey.

The comment section is harsh! I can see what they were trying to do but... Yeah it's a bit sh1te.

I dont understand the black and white choice. Of any time of the year, surely Christmas is the perfect time to go full on bling. Very drab. Actually I do like the bit with the rapping sheep or is it a lamb

Had to switch off the sainsburys add. Did not like or get it at all.

Christmas has been won by Peacocks, whatever that is.

Ditto.
First one I remember really standing out as special. The cover of FGTH 'The power of love' is still a version I listen to today and it makes the ad.

The bear one is a beaut too. Not sure which I prefer. The Guinness one tops them all though.

If we're talking the GOAT across the board, then I agree 100%. That guinness ad is perfection.

If we're just talking John Lewis though 2012's the snowman tops it for me with the 2013's Bear & the Hare in 2nd. The rest were only average IMO.

Is it just me though that feels theres less & less TV adverts being made for christmas nowadays though? Maybe its looking back through nostalgia tinted specs but I remember there being a huge amount of dedicated christmas ads back in the day & nowhere near as many nowadays. Or maybe I just watch less TV!!!

I love the Boots "only you."

Does anyone know who's version of 'have yourself a merry little Christmas' is on the this Lidl ad?

Iv tried a song search with the phone but it doesn't work.

Edit: found it sorry, a singer called Soak from Derry.

My all time favorite John Lewis advert has to be the penguin!!!

I think they're still mulling it over, so when the law does get passed it'll be well into 2018 before it comes into effect, thank god!

Saw it twice last night funnily enough! Though to be fair I've not been watching much TV in the last couple of weeks so thats the first time I'd seen it in a while.

Toto Wolfcastle

Read this article about the Guinness ad and whether it would be banned under the new laws. A lot of it would be, but the law may not come into effect properly for years.
